Founded over 50 years, Giovanni Rana is the leading refrigerated pasta maker in Italy and Europe. In 2012, the Rana family launched its first state-of-the-art factory in the United States, outside of Chicago in Bartlett, Illinois, which produces the retail line of pasta and sauces now distributed all over the country. The factory is home to proprietary machinery designed by Mr. Giovanni Rana that mimics the movements used to hand-roll dough to produce an exceptionally thin pasta with a delicate bite that cooks in minutes. The fillings are created from artisanal ingredients including D.O.P. Parmigiano Reggiano and D.O.P. Genovese basil. The Giovanni Rana line includes a large selection of authentic Italian pastas and sauces, with offerings such as: Tortelloni Prosciutto, Ravioli Chicken Rosemary, Ravioli Spinaci e Ricotta, Mushroom Ravioli, Tortelloni Cheese "Delicato," Basil Pesto, Bolognese, Alfredo, and Marinara.
